The last UD field trial was held on released partridge, pheasant & californian quail at Sentosa game reserve in Gipplsand. Ten dogs were entered each day. The weather was dreadful with very strong winds making it very difficult for the dogs to pin down the birds and then when they did find and flush them the birds often flew back over handlers and gallery into the wind making an effective shot difficult. Thanks to Laurie Phelan for provding birds in great condition that flew extremely well and to Russell Thomas for organising the trial site. Thanks also to Rick Price, Russell McCann and Wayne Outtrim for stewarding over the weekend.
